Problem
This document attempts to explain the product defect in relation to the handling of ZFS luns controlled by the EMC PowerPath multipathing driver.
Veritas DMP can co-exist with EMC PowerPath via the use of multiple ASL libraries “libvxemc.so", “libvxCLARiiON.so” and "libvxpp.so" for which are installed by default.
The key change is the introduction of the "libvxpp.so" ASL library in 5.0 MP3 onwards. The "libvxpp.so" ASL is required to handle the TPD (Third Party Driver) claiming mechanism for PowerPath controlled LUNS.
Whilst testing the exclusion and inclusion process of the "libvxpp.so" ASL.
Error
